Death and Hair


On a visit to the Chatham Atwood House we came across some lovely, intricate and slightly morose art pieces made from human hair. They reminded me of the Victorian hair jewelry I'd seen at the V&A that were worn in remembrance of someone who had passed away. There's something so delicate and private about these preserved pieces that fascinate me.
